neutrals-100
Nitinol-Based Core Platform​
  • Super‑elastic Nitinol core ​

Designed to resist kinking in tortuous anatomy, maintaining durable shape memory and consistent distal tip performance for easier and faster tracking throughout the procedure.1,2,3​

  • Balanced Transition​

Features a graduated transition from the tapered distal core to the rigid proximal shaft to facilitate advancement and crossability.2,3,4​

  • One-Piece Construction​

The integrated, single-unit design is intended to provide good torque control3 and structural integrity.​

Radifocus™ Guide Wire M Standard Type

Designed for a comprehensive range of interventions, the Radifocus™ Guide Wire M Standard Type is available in angled and straight configurations with three distinct tip taper profiles:​

  • Short3 (1 cm): Designed to facilitate the crossing of stenotic lesions.​
  • Standard (3 cm): The baseline tip length for general vascular access.​
  • Long3 (5 cm and 8 cm): Features an extended taper designed to assist in maintaining catheter tip shape and achieving deeper vessel engagement to support advancement.
